In subjugate, the spelling -gate is pronounced /ɡeɪt/, so the final syllable matches gate and the end of navigate. However, subjugate is stressed on the first syllable, so these are sound matches for the ending, not perfect rhymes with the whole word. Conjugate looks similar (-jugate) but has a different vowel in the first syllable, and subjunctive looks similar at the start but has different vowel and consonant sounds.
